A multidisciplinary team from KarRC RAS started doing fieldwork within the international project "Water management in Baltic forests – WAMBAF Tool Box" implemented under the INTERREG Baltic Sea Region Programme. The team is made up of specialists in hydrobiology, silviculture, botany and soil science.

The task for the fieldwork is to comprehensively assess the state of small watercourses for which available information of the aquatic biota, species and age structure of forests, diversity of the flora and soils was collected and analysed during the first quarter of the year.
The team plans to survey the upper, middle and lower course of three pilot streams and fill in all the details in the checklists previously developed with the first WAMBAF project for the Baltic Sea Region. Simultaneously, they will record the data indicating whether this approach is suitable for small river assessments in Karelia.
This 3-year project bringing together partners from Sweden, Finland, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland aims to work out a uniform methodology and analyse the applicability of the suggested approaches in Russian realities.

Mathematicians from Karelia and Italy find a new way to optimize quantum computing

Maria Makarova, a young mathematician from Petrozavodsk, completed her postgraduate studies at KarRC RAS and at the University of Trento, Italy. She now works at the intersection of mathematics and computer science in the field of quantum computing. Quantum computers represent the future, the foundations for which are being laid at this very moment, but as yet, these innovative devices are rather vulnerable: the physical features and the complexity of interactions among quantum particles lead to costly calculation errors. Scientists worldwide, including mathematicians from the Institute of Applied Mathematical Research KarRC RAS, are solving problems to optimize such computations.
